And so you should. It’s so energising and, of course, wonderful to live beside so many great beaches here. (That’s not a coincidence, I may as well tell you!)
Hi Val, I certainly won’t argue with the the word ‘crazy’ but that was taking the pic! Son (18) would be amazed and concerned if I hadn’t gone swimming! It’s just part of day to day life in this house!
Lovely photo you brave lady!!
Thanks Willow! Not brave, just addicted. Once a water baby, always a water baby.
I do envy you that!

I can tell that you are a lady who does not leave things to chance!
Now that makes me smile!
Good!
Every end of every nerve is tingling at the thought of doing what you did today! You crazy mother 🙂
It sounds like an amazing day 🙂
